The shifting collar that I sent for appears to be for automatic – not a 3 spd. I have since removed the tube that engages the shift levers just bove the steering box and its in pretty bad shape also. Does anyone know if there ever were rebuild parts for this problem? Tim D – OKLH

Have you ever found these parts? If you have not, I have a complete steering column that I believe has these parts on it. Would you be interested in buying the complete steering column? It is for a standard shift 54 Mercury. I do not have a parts interchange book, but there are many parts that are interchangeable from 52 to 54. You might want to check if this is one of them.
